As US President Donald Trump completes his first 100 days in office in his second tenure, Americans including some Republicans, are losing faith across multiple issues and many Americans do not agree with President Trump’s aggressive efforts to quickly enact his agenda, a new poll conducted by Associated Press has suggested.

Apart from poor ratings on the economy and immigration policy of the Trump administration, the Associated Press-NORC Survey revealed that only 24% of American adults believed that the US president has focused on the right priorities in his first 100 days.

The survey further projected that 4 in 10 Americans believed that Trump has been a “terrible” president in his second term, while at least 1 in 10 Americans say that he has been “poor” at his job. However, 3 in 10 Americans felt that Trump has been “great” or “good” while about 2 in 10 say he has been “average”.

The poll comes as Trump’s popularity has reportedly plunged this early in his second tenure, and more than half of the American voters have disapproved of the US president’s performance while the majority oppose his tariff and reducing federal workforce policies.

The survey also showed Democrats have been quite upset with President Trump’s performance in the first 100 days, with about three-quarters of Democrats saying the US president is focused on wrong topics, and 7 in 10 think he has been a “terrible” president till now.

The poll conducted by Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research even found that Republicans are also not overjoyed or content with President Trump’s working, and about 54% of Republicans, who were surveyed, felt he was focused on “right priorities”.

Meanwhile, another poll conducted by New York Times/Siena College on Friday showed that Trump’s approval rating stands at 42%, and among the independent voters it was just 29%.
